Removal-risk signals

53/100

Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.

  • Long abandoned. No update in 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.6.19.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

Est. acquisition value

N/A

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    Not bad, it has a lot of options – but I don’t understand why it requires a time-zone setting. The internet doesn’t have a “time zone”, is there a technical reason it can’t use the user’s local time? Also it doesn’t really make sense how it shows “*Save after each selection” on the frontend widget customizer.

    This Countdown Clock is one of the great plugin which I want to use as this Good Friday 2014 and Easter 2014 Countdown clock. This plugin will add a simple Countdown Clock on your blog, just in some seconds.
